Google Maps APIs Terms of Service

Thank you for your interest in the Google Maps APIs.
The Google Maps APIs are a collection of services
that allow you to include maps, geocoding, places, and other
content from Google in your web pages or applications.

Last Updated: January 4, 2018

This page contains the Google Maps APIs Terms of Service.
If you have questions about these terms, please consult the FAQ’s
Terms of Service section. These terms
do not apply if you have entered into a separate written agreement
with Google (such as a Google Maps APIs Premium Plan or
Google Maps APIs for Work agreement) related
to the Google Maps APIs.

1. Your relationship with Google.

1.1 Use of the Service is Subject
to these Terms.
Your use of any of the Google Maps APIs (referred to in this document as
the "Maps API(s)" or the "Service") is subject to the
terms of a legal agreement between you and Google (the "Terms").
"Google" means either (a) Google Ireland Limited, with offices at
Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, if your billing address is in any country
within Europe, the Middle East, or Africa ("EMEA"); (b) Google Asia Pacific
Pte. Ltd., with offices at 70 Pasir Panjang Road, #03-71, Mapletree Business City, Singapore
117371, if your billing address is in any country within the Asia Pacific
region excluding Australia ("APAC"); (c) Google Australia Pty Ltd. with
offices at Level 5, 48 Pirrama Road, Pyrmont 2009, NSW, Australia, if your billing
address is in Australia; or (d) Google Inc., with offices at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway,
Mountain View, California 94043, USA, if your billing address is in any country in the world
other than those in EMEA, APAC or Australia.

1.2 The Terms include Google's
Legal Notices and Privacy Policy.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing with Google, the Terms
will include the following:

Before you use the Maps API(s), you should read each of the
documents comprising the Terms, and print or save a local copy
for your records.

1.3 Use of Other Google Services and
Additional Terms.
If you use the Maps API(s) in conjunction with any other Google
products, including any other Google API(s), (collectively, the Service
and all other Google products and services are referred to as the
"Google Services"), your agreement with Google will
also include the terms applicable to those Google Services. All of
these are referred to as the "Additional Terms."
If Additional Terms apply, they will be accessible to you either
within or through your use of the applicable Google Services.
If there is any contradiction between the Additional Terms and the
Maps APIs Terms, then the Maps APIs Terms will
take precedence only as they relate to the Maps API(s), and not to any
other Google Services.

1.4 Precedence of
Maps APIs Terms.
If there is any contradiction between the Maps APIs Terms and
other Maps API(s)-related documents (including the
Maps APIs Documentation), then the
Maps APIs Terms will take precedence.

1.5 Changes to the Terms.
Google reserves the right to make changes to the Terms from time to time.
When these changes are made, Google will make a new copy of the
Terms available at
http://developers.google.com/maps/terms
(or such other URL as Google may provide). You understand and agree
that if you use the Service after the date on which the Terms have
changed, Google will treat your use as acceptance of the updated Terms.
If a modification is unacceptable to you, you may terminate this
agreement by ceasing use of the Maps API(s).

2. Accepting the Terms.

2.1 Clicking to Accept or Using
the Maps API(s).
In order to use the Maps API(s), you must agree to the Terms by:

clicking to accept the Terms, where this option is made
available to you by Google in the Service’s user interface; or

using the Maps API(s). You understand and agree that Google
will treat your use of the Maps API(s) as acceptance of the
Terms from that point onwards.

2.2 U.S. Law Restrictions.
You may not use the Maps API(s) and may not accept the Terms if
you are a person barred from using the Service under United
States law.

2.3 Authority to Accept the Terms.
You represent that you have full power, capacity, and authority to
accept these Terms. If you are accepting on behalf of your employer
or another entity, you represent that you have full legal authority
to bind your employer or such entity to these Terms. If you don't
have the legal authority to bind, please ensure that an authorized
person from your entity consents to and accepts these Terms.

3.6 No Personally Identifiable Information or Personal
Data.
You must not provide to Google: (a) any personally identifiable information or device
identifiers; or (b) any European person’s Personal Data (where “European” means
“European Economic Area or Switzerland” and “Personal Data” has the meaning provided in
the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of
the Council of April 27, 2016). Users of your Maps API Implementation may provide
information directly to Google through your Maps API Implementation, as needed.

4. Provision of the Service by Google.

4.1 Google’s Subsidiaries and
Affiliates.
Google has subsidiaries and affiliated legal entities around
the world ("Subsidiaries and Affiliates").
Sometimes, these companies will be providing the Service to you
on behalf of Google itself. You understand and agree that
Subsidiaries and Affiliates will be entitled to provide the
Service to you.

4.2 Limits on Your Use of
the Service.
You understand and agree that Google may limit the number
of transactions you may send or receive through the Service;
such fixed upper limits may be set by Google at any time,
at Google’s discretion. For further information, see
Section 10.4(b) below.

4.3 Advertising.

In places results. Google reserves the right to
include advertising in the places results provided to you
through the Maps API(s). By using the Maps API(s) to obtain
places results, you agree to display such advertising in the
form provided to you by Google.

In maps images. Google also reserves the right to
include advertising in the maps images provided to you through
the Maps API(s), subject to the following provisions.
In this Section, "Ads Notice" means a notice from Google that
it will include advertising in a particular Maps API. The Ads
Notice may be provided on relevant Google websites, including
the
Google Geo Developers Blog (or such other URL as Google may
provide) and the applicable Google Maps API Groups.

New Maps API(s) and major version upgrades of existing
Maps API(s) launched with an Ads Notice. A "major version"
of a Maps API is denoted by a new "whole number" in the
version name (for example, a "major version" change occurs
if API v4.5 is replaced by v5.0). By using the maps images
in these new or major version upgrades of the Maps API(s),
you agree to display the advertising included in those maps
images in the form provided to you by Google.

Maps API(s) and major version upgrades of existing
Maps API(s) launched without an Ads Notice. For any Maps
API that Google has launched (or launches in the future)
without an Ads Notice, Google will not include advertising
in that API’s maps images unless Google provides you with
an Ads Notice at least 90 days beforehand
(the "Ads Notice Period").

Maps API Implementations that incorporated the
Maps API(s) before April 8, 2011.
If your Maps API Implementation incorporated a major
version of a Maps API before April 8, 2011, you have a
limited right to opt out of advertising in the maps images
provided through that major version of that Maps API by
providing written notice to Google during the Ads Notice
Period; your notice must state that you refuse to accept
advertising in the maps images and must be provided to
Google in accordance with Google's notice requirements
(as specified in Google's Ads Notice).

Opting out of ads. You may at any time opt out of
advertising in the places results and the maps images by either:

Indexing and caching for ads serving.
By using an API that serves ads, you give Google the right to
access, index, and cache the web pages or applications that
contain your Maps API Implementation.

4.4 Changes to the Service;
Deprecation Policy.
The following is the Service’s "Deprecation Policy":

Google will announce if it intends to remove major features from,
or discontinue, an API or the Service.

Google will use commercially reasonable efforts to continue
to operate those Google Maps API versions and features identified
at
http://developers.google.com/maps/maps-api-list
without these changes until one year after the announcement,
unless Google determines in its reasonable good faith judgment
that:

it is required by law or third-party relationship
(including changes in law or relationships) to make those
changes earlier; or

doing so could create a security risk or substantial
economic or material technical burden.

5. Your Google Account.

5.1 Signing Up for a Google
Account.
In order to access the Service, you must have and maintain a
Google Account
in good standing. You must ensure that any information you give
to Google in connection with your Google Account or the Service

by or on behalf of the United States government, such use is
subject to additional terms located in our
Legal Notices page’s "Government End Users" section.

8.7 Determination of Compliance.
Google reserves the sole right and discretion to determine whether
your use of the Service, Content, and Brand Features complies
with these Terms.

9. License Requirements.

Google’s licenses above are subject to your compliance with the
following requirements:

9.1 Free, Public Accessibility
to Your Maps API Implementation.

9.1.1 General Rules.

Free access (no fees). Subject to Section 9.1.2
(Exceptions), your Maps API Implementation must be accessible
to the general public without charge and must not require
a fee-based subscription or other fee-based restricted access.
This rule applies to Your Content and any other content in
your Maps API Implementation, whether Your Content or the
other content exists now or is added later.

Public access (no firewall). Your Maps API
Implementation must not operate (i) only behind a firewall;
or (ii) only on an internal network (except during the
development and testing phase); or (iii) in a closed
community (for example, through invitation-only access).

9.1.2 Exceptions.

Enterprise agreement with Google. The rules in
Section 9.1.1 (Free access, Public access) do not apply
if you have entered into a separate written agreement
with Google (such as a
Google Maps agreement) or obtained Google's
written permission.

Mobile applications.

The rule in Section 9.1.1(a) (Free access) does not
apply if your Maps API Implementation is used in a mobile
application that is sold for a fee through an online store
and is downloadable to a mobile device that can access
the online store.

The rule in Section 9.1.1(b) (Public access) does not
apply if your Maps API Implementation is an Android
application that uses the Google Maps Android API.
(However, the rule in Section 9.1.1(b) (Public access)
will continue to apply if your Maps API Implementation
is an Android application that uses any other Maps APIs,
unless the Maps API Implementation qualifies for the
exception in Section 9.1.2(a) (Enterprise agreement
with Google).)

9.1.3 Examples.

You can require users to log in to your Maps API
Implementation if you do not require users to pay a fee.

You can charge a fee for your Maps API Implementation
if it is an Android application downloadable to mobile
devices from the Google Play Store.

If you are a consultant who creates or hosts Maps API
Implementations for third-party customers, you may charge
those customers a fee for your consulting or hosting
services (but not for the Maps API Implementations themselves,
except as permitted under Section 9.1.2 (Exceptions)).

9.2 Reporting. You must
implement those reporting mechanisms that Google requires
(as updated from time to time in these Terms and in the
Maps APIs Documentation).

9.3 End User Terms and
Privacy Policy.
If you develop a Maps API Implementation for use by other
users, you must:

display to the users of your Maps API Implementation
the link to Google’s Terms of Service as presented through
the Service or described in the
Maps APIs Documentation;

explicitly state in your Maps API Implementation’s terms
of use that, by using your Maps API Implementation, your
users are agreeing to be bound by Google’s Terms of Service;
and

protect the privacy and legal rights of those users.

Your privacy policy. You must make publicly
available, and must abide by, an appropriate privacy
policy in your Maps API Implementation. In particular,
if your Maps API Implementation enables you or any
party to gain access to information about users of
the Maps API(s), including personally identifiable
information (such as user names) or non-personally
identifiable usage information (such as location),
your privacy policy must describe your use and retention
of this information.

Geolocation privacy

Your Maps API Implementation must notify the
user in advance of the type(s) of data that you
intend to collect from the user or the user’s
device. Your Maps API Implementation must not
obtain or cache any user’s location in any manner
except with the user's prior consent. Your Maps
API Implementation must let the user revoke the
user's consent at any time.

If your Maps API Implementation provides Google
with geolocation data, that geolocation data must
not enable Google to identify an individual user.
For example, if your Maps API Implementation sends
Google Your Content, and Your Content includes
geolocation data, Your Content must not also
include unique device identifiers associated
with individual users.

If you intend to obtain the user’s location
and use it with any other data provider's data,
you must disclose this fact to the user.

Google’s Privacy Policy. Your privacy policy
must notify users that you are using the Maps API(s)
and incorporate by reference Google’s Privacy Policy
by including a link to Google’s then-current Privacy
Policy (at
http://www.google.com/policies/privacy or such
other URL as Google may provide).

Cookies. As noted in the Documentation,
certain Maps API(s) store and access cookies and other
information on end users’ devices. If you use any of
these cookie-enabled Maps API(s) in your Maps API
Implementation, then for end users in the European
Union, you must comply with the
EU User Consent Policy.

9.4 Attribution.

Content provided to you through the Service may contain
the Brand Features of Google, its strategic partners, or other
third-party rights holders of content that Google indexes.
When Google provides those Brand Features or other attribution
through the Service, you must display such attribution as
provided (or as described in the
Maps APIs Documentation) and
must not delete or alter the attribution.

You must conspicuously display the "powered by Google"
attribution (and any other attribution(s) required by
Google in the
Maps APIs Documentation) on or adjacent to the relevant
Service search box and Google search results. If you use
the standard Google search control, or the standard Google
search control form, this attribution will be included
automatically, and you must not modify or obscure this
automatically-generated attribution.

You understand and agree that Google has the sole right
and discretion to determine whether your attribution(s)
are in compliance with the above requirements.

9.5 Preventing Unauthorized Use.
You will use all reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized use
of the Service and to terminate any such unauthorized use.

9.6 Responsibility for Breaches.
You are solely responsible for (and Google has no responsibility
to you or any third party for) any breach of your obligations
under the Terms and for the consequences of any such breach
(including any loss or damage that Google may suffer).

10. License Restrictions.

Except as expressly permitted under the Terms, or unless you have
received prior written authorization from Google (or, as applicable,
from the particular Content provider), Google’s licenses above are
conditioned on your adherence to all of the restrictions below. In this
Section 10, the phrase "you will not" means "when using the Service,
you will not, and will not permit a third party to."

10.1 Administrative Restrictions.

No access to APIs or Content except through the Service.
You will not access the Maps API(s) or the Content except through
the Service. For example, you must not access map tiles or
imagery through interfaces or channels (including undocumented
Google interfaces) other than the Maps API(s).

No access to Service without applicable Developer
Identifier(s). For certain versions or features of the
Maps API(s), Google may require you to use a Developer
Identifier to access and administer the Service. If a
Developer Identifier is required under the
Maps APIs Documentation,
you will not access the Service without the Developer Identifier.

No hiding identity. You will not hide from Google
the identity of your Maps API Implementation. You must follow
the identification conventions in the
Maps APIs Documentation.

10.2 General Google API
Restrictions.
The following restrictions apply generally to all Google Services,
including the Google application programming interfaces at
https://developers.google.com/products/
(or such other URL as Google may provide)
(the “Google API(s)”). You will not:

Sublicense a Google API for use by a third party.
Consequently, you will not create an API client that
functions substantially the same as the Google APIs and
offer it for use by third parties.

Perform an action with the intent of introducing to
Google Services any viruses, worms, defects, Trojan horses,
malware, or any items of a destructive nature.

Defame, abuse, harass, stalk, or threaten others.

Interfere with or disrupt the Google APIs or the servers
or networks providing the Google APIs.

Reverse engineer or attempt to extract the source code
from any Google API or any related software, except to the
extent that this restriction is expressly prohibited by
applicable law.

Use the Google APIs for any activities where the use or
failure of the Google APIs could lead to death, personal
injury, or environmental damage (such as the operation
of nuclear facilities, air traffic control, or life
support systems).

Use the Google APIs to process or store any data that
is subject to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations
maintained by the U.S. Department of State.

Remove, obscure, or alter any Google terms of service,
or any links to or notices of those terms.

No modification of search results. You will not modify,
reorder, augment, or manipulate search results in any way
unless you explicitly notify the end user of your actions.

10.4 Restrictions on Unfair
Exploitation of the Service and Content.

No use except under these Terms. You will not
use the Service or Content except as expressly permitted
under these Terms. For example:

No fees. You will not charge any third party
a fee to use your Maps API Implementation, the Service,
or the Content, unless you have purchased an applicable
Google Maps APIs Premium Plan or Google Maps APIs for Work license
that expressly permits this use.

No printing 5,000+ copies for direct marketing.
You will not print more than 5,000 copies of sales collateral
materials containing a screenshot of the Content for
purposes of commercial sales lead generation.

No use as a core part of printed matter.
You will not incorporate the Content as a core part
of printed matter (such as a printed map or guide book)
that is redistributed for a fee.

No use beyond transaction limits and usage policies.
If your Maps API Implementation generates a high volume of
transactions, Google reserves the right to set transaction
limits, as described in the Maps APIs Documentation
here. Google also reserves
the right to set other usage policies in the Documentation from
time to time. If you want to engage in use outside these
transaction limits or usage policies, you can purchase more
usage capacity through the
Maps API Standard pricing plan,
or you can contact the
Google Maps sales team for licensing options
to address your needs. Google may decline your request, or condition
acceptance on your agreement to additional terms and/or charges
for that use.

Restrictions on your Maps API Implementations.

No creation of a substitute service.
You will not use the Service to create a Maps API
Implementation that is a substitute for, or substantially
similar service to, Google Maps
(at
https://www.google.com/maps (or such other URL
as Google may provide)) ("Google Maps")
or the Service.

No creation or augmentation of data sets based on Google’s
Content or Services.
You will not use Google’s Content or Services to create or
augment your own mapping-related dataset (or that of a third
party), including a mapping or navigation dataset, business
listings database, mailing list, or telemarketing list.

No navigation. You will not use the Service
or Content for or in connection with (a) real-time
navigation or route guidance; or (b) automatic or
autonomous vehicle control.

No asset-tracking unless you have purchased the
applicable enterprise license. Unless you have
purchased an applicable Premium Plan
or Maps APIs for Work license that
expressly permits you to do so, you will not use the
Service or Content for commercial asset-tracking or
in Maps API Implementations whose primary purpose
is to assess vehicle insurance risks.

Non-commercial asset-tracking implementations include
applications used for a non-commercial purpose
(for example, a free, publicly accessible Maps API
Implementation that displays real-time public transit
or other transportation status information or that allows
end users to share real-time location with others).

No use of Content in a listings service.
You will not use business listings-related Content in
any Customer Implementation that has the primary purpose
of making available business, residential address, or
telephone directory listings.

No use of Content for an Ads product.
You will not use business listings-related Content
to create or augment an advertising product.

No use of Content without a Google map. Unless the
Maps APIs Documentation
expressly permits you to do so, you will not use the
Content in a Maps API Implementation without a corresponding
Google map. For example, you may display Street View imagery
without a corresponding Google map because the
Maps APIs Documentation
expressly permits this use.

No use of Content with a non-Google map.
You must not use the Content in a Maps API Implementation
that contains a non-Google map.

10.5 Intellectual Property
Restrictions.

No distribution or sale except as permitted
under the Terms.
You will not distribute, sell, or otherwise make any part
of the Service available to third parties except as permitted
by these Terms.

No derivative works. You will not modify or create
a derivative work based on any Content unless expressly
permitted to do so under these Terms. For example, the following
are prohibited: (i) creating server-side modification of map
tiles; (ii) stitching multiple static map images together to
display a map that is larger than permitted in the
Maps APIs Documentation;
or (iii) tracing or copying the copyrightable elements
of Google’s maps or building outlines and creating a
new work, such as a new mapping or navigation dataset.

No use of Content outside the Service. You will not
use any Content outside of the Service except as expressly
permitted to do so in Subsection (d). For example, you will
not export or save the Content to a third party’s platform
or service.

No caching or storage. You will not pre-fetch, cache,
index, or store any Content to be used outside the Service,
except that you may store limited amounts of Content solely
for the purpose of improving the performance of your Maps API
Implementation due to network latency (and not for the purpose
of preventing Google from accurately tracking usage), and only
if such storage:

is temporary (and in no event more than 30
calendar days);

is secure;

does not manipulate or aggregate any part of
the Content or Service; and

does not modify attribution in any way.

No mass downloading. You will not use the Service
in a manner that gives you or a third party access to mass
downloads or bulk feeds of any Content. For example, you are
not permitted to offer a batch geocoding service that uses
Content contained in the Maps API(s).

No incorporating Google software into other software.
You will not incorporate any software provided as part of
the Service into other software.

No removing, obscuring, or altering terms of service,
links, or proprietary rights notices. You will not:

remove, obscure, or alter any Google terms of service
or any links to or notices of those terms, or any
copyright, trademark, or other proprietary rights
notices; or

falsify or delete any author attributions, legal notices,
or other labels of the origin or source of material.

10.6 Restrictions on Trying to Shut Down the Service.
We want to make sure that the Services remain online and available for all users.
To help ensure this, during the agreement term, you will not try to shut down the Services
that you have been using by seeking an injunction or exclusion order.

11. Licenses from You to Google.

11.1 Content License.
Google claims no ownership over Your Content, and you retain
copyright and any other rights you already hold in Your Content.
By submitting or displaying Your Content through the Service,
you give Google a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive,
worldwide, sublicensable, royalty-free license to use Your
Content solely for the following purposes:

enabling Google to provide you with the Service;

if you opt to do so through your Maps API Implementation’s
features, allowing end users to use Your Content in
Google Services; and

if you opt to submit Your Content through the Google
Places API(s), allowing Google to use that content
in Google Services.

11.2 Marketing License.
During the term of this agreement, you give Google a
non-exclusive, worldwide, sublicensable, royalty-free
license to use Your Brand Features and Your Content to
publicize or advertise that you are using the Service
(for example, by using your marks in presentations, marketing
materials, customer lists, financial reports, and website
listings (including links to your website), or by creating
marketing or advertising materials that show screenshots
of the Service in which Your Content is featured).

11.3 Authority to Grant
Licenses. You represent and warrant that you have all
the rights, power, and authority necessary to grant the
above licenses.

12. Maps API Standard Pricing Plan and Payment Terms.

12.1 Free Quota.
Certain parts of the Service are provided to you without charge
up to the transaction limits described in the Maps APIs
Documentation here.

12.2 Online Billing.
Google will issue an electronic bill to you for all charges
accrued above the transaction limits based on your use of the
Service during the previous month. You will pay all fees specified
in the invoice, including the invoice’s specified currency and
payment terms. Google’s measurement of your use of the Service is
final.

12.3 Taxes.
In association with your purchase of Maps API usage, you are
responsible for all applicable government-imposed taxes,
except for taxes based on Google’s net income, net worth,
employment, and assets (including personal and real property)
("Taxes"), and you will pay Google for the
Service without any reduction for Taxes. If Google is obligated
to collect or pay Taxes, the Taxes will be invoiced to you, unless
you provide Google with a timely and valid tax exemption
certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. In
some states the sales tax is due on the total purchase price
at the time of sale and must be invoiced and collected at the time
of the sale.

12.4 Invoice Disputes &
Refunds. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you waive
all claims relating to fees unless claimed within sixty days
after charged (this does not affect any of your rights with your
credit card issuer). Refunds (if any) are at Google’s discretion
and will only be in the form of credit for the Service. Nothing
in these Terms obligates Google to extend credit to any party.

12.5 Delinquent Payments.
Late payments may bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month
(or the highest rate permitted by law, if less). Google reserves
the right to suspend your access to the Service for any late
payments.

you or Google as described below.

13.2
You may terminate your legal agreement with Google by
removing the Maps API(s) code from your Maps API Implementation

13.3
Google reserves the right to terminate these Terms or
discontinue the Service, or any portion or feature of the Service,
